Why Would I Write

  • Score thief

    You know what I like to do at arcades?
    I watch people who play games, finish off the boss, and leave right after that. I stay till the credits are over, and when it says ‘enter your initials’ I put mine in.

    Are rapper names getting more ridiculous each day? The other day I was flipping through the newspaper and there was a new rapper called ‘Soulja Boy’. That wasn’t the worst part, throughout the whole interview, he kept talking about money- making it and spending it. That’s it! Every question he just answered with something about money.

    Is it just me or does Michael Jackson have a problem saying ‘thriller’ in his own song, Thriller?
    It sounds like he’s saying ‘D love!’ or ‘Three love!’ or ‘Tree Lor!’. It sounds like everything except Thriller! How can someone sing a song when they can’t even pronounce its title?!

    Someone recommend this movie to me and now I’ve been recommending this movie to everybody: Zeitgeist. It’s an online indie movie about conspiracies. If you like conspiracies, you have to watch this. It’s like the Da Vinci Code on steroids. Insane shit. It’s about 2hours long, so grab a nice chair and enjoy the ride.

  • Want to sixty-nine?

    So the other day I was chatting with James online and somehow he convinced me to buy a lottery ticket. So a few days later, I headed to the Sports Toto place nearby my office and bought a ticket. I spent RM5 on it. The number?

    1269
    James’ reasoning behind the number – ‘Want to 69?’ That was enough for me to go out and buy it.

    Now when I told one of my friends this, he said that there was no way in the world I would win. His reasoning? Cos it was a ‘stupid’ number. And it wasn’t a ‘winning’ number. To him, a ‘winning’ number would be one taken from a car accident or something auspicious.

    James told me my next ticket number should be -2969. (To-night-sixty-nine)
    A sure fire winner!

    The other day my boss decided that watching Prison Break on a standard sized monitor wasn’t enough.. so he took away my dual monitor set up and gave me a wide screen monitor in place. So now I enjoy PB on widescreen!

    (totally made up story about the Prison Break bit, but the rest is true :p)

  • White gloves, white helmet, white motorbike, white stripe.

    Today every traffic cop was on my side.
    It was crazy.

    It reminded me of one of those days I had before where I thought I was going to die- every light was green, and everything was going according to plan. I thought it was my final day on Earth.

    Usually traffic police annoy the fuck out of me. I really see no reason why they should override traffic lights. Unless the traffics lights are not working of course. They let cars go when it is red, and stop cars when it is green, letting whichever side they feel like letting go, go. Depending on the weather/their mood/or whether they are having their periods.

    Anyways, I used to take this road where I would always be on the unfavored side of the evening traffic cop. I would wait at some 1km stretch of road for like 30 minutes cos he would let 3-4 cars go, and then stop us from proceeding any further. I had to resist the urge to get justice blood under my wheels.

    But I’ve always wondered. Why place a cop there when the lights are doing their job? Don’t they trust a simple algorithm that was created specifically to change the color of lights after a certain interval? Must they risk the lives of policemen? How do you think they feel? Standing in the middle of a busy fucking road with cars coming from all directions. Practically naked besides a whistle and some white gloves (clothes won’t save you from getting run over). All these cops have are their own wits and their trust of Malaysian drivers to obey his (yes his because I have yet to see a female traffic cop) waving hands (but then George, why did you say period? because I felt like it).

    Traffic lights work fine, but the PeRson In Charge (PRIC(k)) decides he needs some cops to do the job of something that’s already doing its job. Do you see the logic in that? All our money that is spent on roads- all wasted? Are they funding the cops and the lights? Isn’t that redundant? Why not just have one?

    Can cops be bribed to let you go first? I’d like to think that if I slipped a cop a rm5 note he would blow the whistle and let my car go.

    You know when your country is fucked up? When people who live in it consider bribery normal, and essential to survival.
